Now, list down the factors of 668
:1,2,4,167,334,668
Now, list down the factors of 197
:1,197
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 668,197 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 668,197 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 323,261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84303
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/84303
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 668/323,197/261 is 1/84303
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 323,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(323,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(323,261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(323,261) = ( 323 × 261 ) / 1
LCM(323,261) = 84303 / 1
LCM(323,261) = 84303
